[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason is that it costs almost as much to add the trailers because of trailer requirements per building codes now given the structures already in place (they are building up over existing space).  The first renovation was designed for fewer early ES classrooms than they needed and with the expectation that there was a large drop off in third grade.  They now have five k and first grade classrooms and those kids are not leaving before fifth and four classes for grades above that, no sure if they will be having 5 classes all the way through as the current first graders are what pushed it to 5 classes.  They have 60 preK students and 58 IB kids on the wait list.  Three years ago they had 3 k classes and (I think) 2 4th and 5th grade classes (and possibly 3rd too, not sure).  They are making do with converting existing space but the need for classrooms increases evey year and there is a limit before trailers (which are very expensive and temporary) would be needs absent this addition.[/quote]

blahblahblah....

I can tell you all sort of stories about many schools that saw enrollment patterns shift dramatically in the last few years---we all have the stories---but we all do NOT have two multi-million dollar renovations.
